Missing Name posted:I'm stuck on that loving "heavy go cap and also shoot things lots of times" mission. I got it in my WZ-111 model 1-4 by stealing about three points of cap from some other tanks who were capping while the rest of my team attempted to hunt down a medium. Just drive directly for the cap in a tank that has a high damage per shot and hope for the best.

I think I somehow snuck into the botes alpha, because I can play it, but I don't have access to the alpha forums or anything. If someone in the alpha could PM me if there is a way to get more garage slots I'd appreciate it.

demonR6 posted:My main beef right now is smoke screen..it seems like the ships who lays it down has an advantage where they can still see me but I am completely blind to see them. They should not have that kind of advantage.. last night I ran into a double DD smoke screen and had no idea where the gently caress they were but they were belching torps and hitting my ship like they were parked in front of me. Belching torps while invisible is the whole point of the smokescreen, and DDs in general.

notwithoutmyanus posted:This is a general statistic, which also basically defines which tanks people can do the best in/easiest. Did you even read my post? The link shows average net income for non-premium tanks, which is a way of measuring which tanks are the most profitable to run for the average player. Of course premium tanks make more money, which is why I specifically stated that those are the best non-premium tanks to play if you want to make money.  Also, the Excelsior isn't free. It costs around $10 US.

Of course, but I said come in! said he was a "super scrub" so I figured he wanted to know which tanks were the most profitable for scrubs. Edit: Earnings per damage could be a useful statistic.

Alternatively dodging torpedoes like Neo in the Matrix is pretty loving sweet too. If you keep your bow or stern pointed in the direction the planes are coming from it's pretty easy. If they come in from the side you gotta put your ship to 1/4 ahead and turn in the opposite direction from where the torpedoes are coming the moment you see the planes do the little flip that shows they dropped their torps. Also make sure to taunt the carrier when they miss. Learning how to manually drop torps is pretty much a prerequisite for effective carrier play because you can dodge torps all day long if they're dropped automatically.

One round I took my T95 valley on Lakeville, but only after telling the rest of my team to get their asses to the city and then making sure they actually listened. I killed 5 of 7 enemy tanks in the valley and then got flanked because 14 of my teammates couldn't kill 8 of theirs. I guess the moral of this story is this: gently caress pubs forever.

 Here's a link to my modpack for 9.6!Here are the fonts it uses. It contains: - XVM with my own brand of lines on the minimap - White = Maximum spotting/draw distance and traverse indicators - Red = Artillery and low tier autoloader range - Green = View range and camera direction - 2 seconds protection from shooting at corpses - J1mb0's crosshair mod - Server-side crosshair - 500m zoom out, 16x zoom in - Meltymap's damage and armour thickness indicator - Scope shadow removed - Locastan's damage panel and session stats - 2 row tank carousel - My Metal Gear Solid sixth sense mod - HP bars and Team HP - Battle assistant - 15m "Shoot through bushes safely" circle - Toggle with Numpad 0 - Autoaim to tank nearest reticle - Toggle with F10 - Autoequip binocs/net/toolbox It probably also has some other stuff I've forgotten about, but nothing that can get you banned. Let me know if there are any issues. Edit: It also has an edited gui_settings.xml file to restore the US>UK>Germany>France>USSR>China>Japan tank order.

srb posted:I already installed all the mods I wanted, but this is the first time I hear about that 15 meter range mod. Which files does it consist of McGavin? I don't know exactly which files it uses, but you can get it from OMC. All it does is put a 15m circle on the ground around your tank so you can see which bushes are far enough away to shoot through safely without going into sniper mode. It's one of those things that you don't need until you really need it, like when you're the last tank left and trying to remain unspotted.

Is anyone else having FPS issues since 9.6? What's happening for me is that every time I start a battle my FPS tanks to <10 and then goes back up to 35-40 after 5 seconds while it was a solid 60 in 9.5. I haven't changed any settings and I have a GTX 770 so it shouldn't be dipping below 60 at all.

Nobody plays the Achilles and it's the last tank I need to kill for Master Tanker. Also my FPS issues magically disappeared, so I guess complaining about it worked because I sure as hell didn't do anything else to fix it.
